Hi Steve, or is it still Stephen? ;-) This is much better although I see you are still getting slack at the end! I bet that the last couple of lines are a hex decode that print 'perl hacker' with a couple of extra chars thrown in that eval to '', ' ' or \n at a guess

No doubt I won't be able to resist a dissassembly when I have some time but hell serious work beckons.

Cheers

PS Obfuscation by expandation is a Microsoft thing, tres un Perl. Using your best French accent say: "Moi, non plus bloatware presente Ctrl+Alt+Del"
